Carcass were at a crossroads in 1991 when it came to recording their third album. They could either continue getting more melodic and pursue a more conventional death metal sound or continue with their death-influenced grind. Luckily for me and death metal fans worldwide, they chose the former and released this brilliant opus on unsuspecting masses in October of that year. Previous fans of the band had dropped their jaws in amazement at this sonic makeover and as had critics. Judging by the reception this got, this was in amazement rather than repulsion.
